INSTALL

NOTE

• ptarmd can't start if database file version not match.
  • Ptarmigan sometime changes database structure and update file version.
    • GitHub DB version: LN_DB_VERSION in ln/ln_version.h
    • ptarmd DB version: ptarmd --version
    • current DB file version: showdb --version
  • There are two ways:
    • A: pay all BTC to bitcoind and create new database file.
      • Close all channels and return BTC using ptarmcli --paytowallet.
    • B: Use previous version ptarmd if you use same database file.
